It's plain old Schulze, as in the Condorcet method.

It seems to me that using a proportional ordering (house monotone PR 
method) would be a better approach for a party list than to just use a 
Condorcet method directly. In the latter case, the list would be full of 
centrists, but in the former, there would be some opinion space variation.

I seem to remember that Schulze designed a proportional ordering version 
of Schulze STV as well, but it may be too untested even for the Pirate 
Party.
